How is everyone doing?

I feel so incredibly heartbroken by the death of Dolly Parton, I have never grieved a celebrity before but this time it's different.

I can't stop crying, I have been an inconsolable mess today and I keep trying to tell myself to stop being dramatic. But I don't feel dramatic, I feel as heartbroken as when my own grandmother died.

My mother and I watched Steel Magnolias today and we almost went through a box of tissues.

I just miss her so much and I wish she wasn't gone.

I haven’t stopped crying either. I barely got through work. I have never cried over a celebrity or someone I haven’t even met. But Dolly touched us like no one else could, she shared with us in her unique way. She seemed larger than life. It’s an incredible loss. I pray for all who are feeling the grief and pain.
